The Green Party scored two major legislative points this week when it won the support of the Conservative-dominated House of Commons' natural resources committee to make amendments to Bill C-46, the Pipeline Safety Act.
It's a rare circumstance in the current parliamentary climate to have any opposition amendments passed in committee. In fact, these are the first Green Party amendments to a government bill ever adopted.
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said she is "just so pleased."
